They are decorative. I like both colors as well as the fragrance(s) of choice. Unfortunately, the scent is not that strong at all. You would need all of these sticks per room for any real effect. Sometimes I can smell them but like I said it is a VERY light scent, you can barely smell it.

A pro to this item is that they DO last a long time because a couple months after buying them I could sometimes smell them even if for just a few seconds. I have them above the bathroom sink on the mirror mantle and when I use the sink, I CAN smell a very light scent but just for a few seconds. I would probably get them again because of their look and the scent(s)available but I know there are air fresheners much better than these.
